Abstract
A versatile unsaturated polyester resin prepared from TMPD glycol, pentaerythritol and maleic anhydride was described in the 28th Reinforced Plastics/Composites Conference. Since this polymer was shown to have excellent chemical resistant properties, a study was initiated to synthesize resins designed for those applications where both chemical resistance and flame retardance are required.
